Israel wishes Happy Halloween to military aviation, but on the pumpkin is a Russian fighter

"Trick or treat?" Thousands of likes and shares, as often happens with every post on the Israeli Air Force page. It is a pity that the silhouette of a Russian Su-27 fighter was glued on the pumpkin that dominates the entire photo, dedicated to Halloween. Multi-role platform that, at least officially, Israel has never received from the Kremlin.

The episode caused particular fanfare in Russia, considering that all channels social as well as the IDF's internet pages are constantly managed and monitored by the Israeli secret services and counterintelligence. We are talking about the best agencies in the world, dedicated to the constant production of highly elaborated material with a precise purpose. On the IAF's official Facebook page, users from all over the world met to try to explain that strange photo.

"It could be an F-16" a user writes.

"I don't understand why using a Russian fighter" writes another.

"Would it be a hunt for the forces of evil?" Another asks.

Strangely, there was no official response on the IAF facebook page. That the one on the pumpkin is a Sukhoi there is no doubt, they comment from Russia.

Could it be an F-14 Tomcat? If this were the case, one would not understand the reason, but certainly it is not a F-15 Eagle or an F-16 Falcon.

Comment from Moscow - "Is it perhaps a message for the Russian industries for a possible opening in the supply of the next aircraft or the best secret services in the world have taken only a blunder?".
